<p>M. Schönfeld "Wörterbuch der altgermanischen Personen- und Völkernamen", Heidelberg 1965:<br>

".Ala-vivus = an. Olvir, ahd. as. Alawich; zum zweiten Glied vgl. urnord. WiwaR, ahd. Vio-mad, Vio-rad, Wiu-frid, ags. -wio, -wiu (z. B. Forthwio).<br>
<br>
Wenn diese Gleichungen richtig sind, so ist -vivus aus germ. *-wigwó- aus *-wihwó- 'Streit'" entstanden, wozu got. weihan 'streiten' gehört."<br>
